UVA president Teresa Sullivan announced the school’s plans to pay medical bills of those injured protesting white nationalists in Charlottesville.

The University of Virginia, which was the site of a white nationalist rally in August, has decided to fund the medical costs of those harmed during the counterprotest in an effort to address a grant to the school from the KKK in 1921. University president Teresa Sullivan announced the funding in prepared remarks for a Board of Visitors meeting Thursday.

The Charlottesville rally and protests occurred within a greater context of reckoning with UVA’s institutional history of racism and specifically its legacy of slavery. Part of that includes the $1,000 donation pledged by the KKK in 1921; then-university president Edwin Alderman acknowledged the grant (which is shown in newspaper clippings from the time), but there is no evidence that the grant was ever accepted by the university. As an effort towards accountability, the university will be donating that grant amount — which, adjusted for inflation, is roughly $12,400, as The Washington Post notes — to the “Charlottesville Patient Support Fund”.

“In other words,” said Sullivan in her remarks, “[UVA is] allocating that century-old pledge from white supremacists to heal the wounds inflicted by the dying vestiges of white supremacy that struck Charlottesville last month. I hope any remaining members of the KKK will appreciate the irony.”

32-year-old Heather Heyer, was killed by a car entering the crowd at the protests, which also injured 19 others. Two police officers also died during a helicopter crash while patrolling the protests.

During the board remarks, Sullivan also mentioned making a memorial for Heyer, a white woman who had supported anti-racist work prior to her death, as well as a concert planned in response to Charlottesville. There was no conclusion given on these topics in the statement released by UVA.
